An elderly and hard-of-hearing couple is visited by the Grim Reaper, complete with the usual accouterments of hood, scythe, and imminent death.They mistake him for (variously) a magazine salesman, a Jehovah’s
Witness, a Weight Watchers associate, a shepherd (due to the “shepherd’s thingy” he carries), an escort service representative, a car salesman, and a gangster hit man, but offer him oatmeal cookies and tea as they continue to misunderstand everything he says. In total frustration, the Grim Reaper gives up, wishes them a long life, and departs.
